Scans of the TeV Gamma-Ray Sky with the HEGRA Sys- tem of Cherenkov Telescopes
Between 1997 and the end of the detector operation in fall 2002, about 5500 hours of observational data were recorded with the HEGRA system of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). Besides dedicated scan observations of extended sky regions, a considerable fraction of the sky has been looked at as a side effect during the observations of selected source candidates. Altogether, more t...
متن کاملThe diffuse GeV-TeV γ-ray emission of the Cygnus region
Recently the Milagro experiment observed diffuse multi-TeV gamma ray emission in the Cygnus region, which is significantly stronger than what predicted by the Galactic cosmic ray model. However, the sub-GeV observation by EGRET shows no excess to the prediction based on the same model. This TeV excess implies possible high energy cosmic rays populated in the region with harder spectrum than tha...
متن کاملX - ray to TeV γ - ray broad band emitter
Within the sample of unidentified γ-ray sources found in the first survey of our Galaxy, AX J1838.0-065 is particularly interesting due to its likely physical association with the newly discovered TeV source HESS J1837-069 (Aharonian et al. 2005a). In fact, its position coincides with the center of gravity of the TeV emission and therefore has been suggested by Aharonian et al. (2005a) as the m...
متن کاملDiffuse γ-ray emission: lessons and perspectives
The Galactic diffuse emission is potentially able to reveal much about the sources and propagation of cosmic rays (CR), their spectra and intensities in distant locations. It can possibly unveil WIMP dark matter (DM) through its annihilation signatures. The extragalactic background may provide vital information about the early stages of the universe, neutralino annihilation, and unresolved sour...
متن کاملDetection of diffuse TeV gamma-ray emission from the neaby
We report the TeV gamma-ray observations of the nearby normal spiral galaxy NGC 253. At a distance of ∼2.5 Mpc, NGC 253 is one of the nearest starburst galaxies. This relative closeness, coupled with the high star formation rate in the galaxy, make it a good candidate TeV gamma-ray source. Observations were carried out in 2000 and 2001 with the CANGAROO-II 10m imaging atmospheric Cerenkov teles...
